Similarly, I've been going through old photos so it's been fun to take the time to photograph them and reconnect with people from the past (good for all of us).

You can also have it prompt you a certain number of times throughout the day for a longer meditation practice. ]]> 2020-06-23 20:48:48 UTC https://padlet.com/kristinbdaniel/opnfjo6otn4zqhkg/wish/637948055 https://padlet.com/kristinbdaniel/opnfjo6otn4zqhkg/wish/639029490 I've recently tried compassion meditations and really find them helpful to get my head out of my self and my own stresses and focus on others.

My sister got me using this card program - Send Out Cards - you can send cards to anywhere in the world. It's meditative to the sender and it's wonderful to hear back from the receiver. During COVID, it's also been a great way to make connections with a long overdue "hello" to friends you haven't chatted with in awhile. ]]> 2020-07-13 22:54:48 UTC https://padlet.com/kristinbdaniel/opnfjo6otn4zqhkg/wish/653663753 https://padlet.com/kristinbdaniel/opnfjo6otn4zqhkg/wish/653667293 During online teaching, I developed a nightly routine of reviewing the day with gratitude and writing my intensions for the next day. That act helped clear my mind, I slept better and woke up ready for the day as I had already preplanned my intention. It was very effective way of keeping my stress in check.

That daily intension has grounded me in many ways. ]]> 2020-07-13 23:09:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kristinbdaniel/opnfjo6otn4zqhkg/wish/653670026 https://padlet.com/kristinbdaniel/opnfjo6otn4zqhkg/wish/654131952 When I hear the call to prayer in Abu Dhabi throughout the day I use it as a reminder to give thanks for something in my life.

eating at least one thing and really paying attention to how it tastes, texture, where it activates senses in mouth, etc.
walking (i used to not like this one until covid!)

It really helps me reframe my thinking positively. ]]> 2020-07-18 09:50:40 UTC https://padlet.com/kristinbdaniel/opnfjo6otn4zqhkg/wish/657386577 https://padlet.com/kristinbdaniel/opnfjo6otn4zqhkg/wish/657884627 2020-07-19 21:36:06 UTC https://padlet.com/kristinbdaniel/opnfjo6otn4zqhkg/wish/657884627
